Dear FL TRIO Directors,

As the Director you have the privilege of nominating a candidate for the FL TRIO Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI). Please nominate candidates whom you have observed their leadership potential and would be honored for them to participate in the 2020 Class of Emerging Leaders on November 5-6, 2020.

What is the Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI)? ELI is a great way for TRIO professionals to begin their leadership journey. The focus of ELI is to develop successful leaders who have the desire to become involved in leadership opportunities in all areas of TRIO. Participants in this group develop their leadership abilities to serve in the executive branches of our governing organizations.

The success of the Emerging Leaders Institute depends upon you identifying a participant who is willing to make a commitment to involvement and leadership in their respective state organization, the TRIO community and the region.  Please give serious consideration to your nominations by keeping in mind the following:

Leadership Potential - Candidate must show present success or future potential for success in leadership positions.  

Commitment - Candidate must agree to attend all sessions and be committed to the possibility of furthering their leadership commitment by serving on various committees within the State organization.

Employer and Support - Candidate must have a signed statement of support from their employer.

Financial - Candidate must be a current member of the State organization

Note:
I hope that as the Director of your program, you will accept this invitation to participate and support your state organization. You may also give your nominee a copy of this letter as a means of notifying them of their nomination.
I look forward to your continued support.

Thanks,

Rowina Petion
